Question: What are some damaged hair rebuilder tips? What are some causes of damaged hair?

Answer: Did you know that the human head has approximately 120,000 to 160,000 hairs? When dry hair sets in on a certain area, the whole head is affected. The optimum moister level for hair is 8% but most hair holds a moisture level of 3% or less.

Certain activities such as swimming or being out in the sun can lead to overly dry hair. Pools contain a high level of chlorine and the ocean has high levels of salt, wear a swimming cap when engaging in these activities.

Main Causes of Damaged Hair

Physical abuse is a major factor for dry and damaged hair, over using hair appliances like blow dryers and straighteners or chemical applications like perms and colors are also contributors to dry and damaged hair. Curly hair is most susceptible to dryness because the cuticle in curly hair is lifted thus allowing for an inability to sustain moisture. Since hair chemicals have a high PH level, you should use a PH balanced shampoo and conditioner after any every chemical process. Make sure to leave in the PH balanced moisturizer for at least 3 to 5 minutes as to give the conditioner time to soak into the hair shaft.

Damaged Hair Rebuilders and Remedies

I have seen many remedies and cures in my fifty years of experience. Many products have come and gone and many have stood the test of time and science. Although hair can benefit greatly from many of the main stream products available today, nothing is better for your hair than a well balanced diet. Home remedies in my expert opinion, still have their place in today’s product line world. As far as dry damaged hair is concerned, my clients have raved about remedies such as mayonnaise, avocado and olive oil. The protein molecules in these natural substances are larger in some cases than the molecular structure of the hair shaft. I recommend you blend down the substance of choice and warm it as to break the molecular structure as much as possible making the hair more susceptible to absorbing the proteins.

Make sure that your hair is clean and damp before any treatment. After treatment, wash well with a ph balancing shampoo; moisturize as usual. If you need to style your hair, use products that contain the nano technology of tourmaline and ceramic plating, these tools help to reserve the moisture in the hair shaft.

My tools of choice include the Sedu revolution tourmaline hair straightener and the t3 hair dryer.

Great hair is yours to be had!
